8、e can book $6 standby tickets.DThere are only seven wheelchair spaces in the theatre.BThere are two ways of driving in the world: if the drivers seat is on the left and cars travel on the right side of the road, it is called “left-hand driving”, as it is in China, while the other way of driving is c
9、alled “right-hand driving”, as it is in Britain. Nowadays, around 65% of the worlds population drive on the right of the road, while the rest are used to driving on the left.Though no one knows the exact reasons, it seems likely that people in ancient times travelled on the left. Roman coins show pi
10、ctures of horsemen passing on each others right. And right-hand people generally got on a horse from the animals left. Obviously, its safer to do this at the left side of the road, and it makes sense for the horse to be ridden on the left.A change happened in the late 1700s. When Napoleon conquered
11、nations, he forced them to travel on the right side of the road, which spread left-hand driving throughout Europe. However, Britain still stuck with the right-hand driving rule and countries which were part of the British Empire were made to follow. This is why India, Australia and the former Britis
12、h colonies (殖民地) in Africa continue to drive on the left. One exception is Egypt, as that country was defeated by Napoleon before becoming part of the British Empire.Some countries changed sides over time. Sweden only moved to driving on the right in 1967 and Iceland changed the following year. Ghan
13、a changed sides in 1974. On September 7, 2009, Samoa became the third country ever to change from left-hand to right-hand driving for the reason that it made it easier to import (进口) cheap cars from right-hand driving Japan, Australia and New Zealand.So if you want to travel to another country or go
14、 on business, make sure you know whether it is left-hand or right-hand driving to avoid unnecessary troubles.5Which picture shows the correct driving in Britain?A BC D6In ancient times, Romans _.Atravelled on the right Brode past each others rightCgot on the horses from the right Dbehaved as they li
15、ked7In modern times, countries follow the same driving way except _.AEgypt BChinaCSweden DAustralia8What is the writers purpose for writing this passage?ATo introduce the development of the two ways of driving.BTo compare the differences of the two ways of driving.CTo explain the advantages of the t
16、wo ways of driving.DTo complain about the change of the two ways of driving.CPerhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his
17、 spare time. But it was during this time that Lius imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away.But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadnt expected that he would b
18、ecome the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fictions highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur CClarke Award for Imagination in Serv
19、ice to Society. Its the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur CClarke (1917-2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarkes 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great ef
20、fect on him.“My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (使敬畏) by the mystery of the universe.”But no matter how far away L
21、ius imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational.In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wand
22、ering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Lius works arent simply daydreams.9What do we know about Liu Cixin?AHe became a full-time writer when he
23、was young.BHe dreamed about wandering in space from childhood.CHe is the first Asian to win the Arthur CClarke Award.DHe is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award.10Liu Cixins words are used mainly to show _.Ahis interest in mysteries of the universeBhis love of reading science fictionChis confu
24、sion when he started writingDhis feeling after reading Clarkes work11Why did the author mention The Three-Body Problem and The Wandering Earth?ATo compare the different writing styles in the two books.BTo explain how Liu Cixin came up with his ideas.CTo show that Liu Cixin has a powerful imagination
25、.DTo prove that Liu Cixins works relate science to reality.12Whats the text mainly about?ALiu Cixins achievements and writing style.BLiu Cixins contributions to science fiction.CHow Liu Cixin became a sci-fi writer.DHow Liu Cixin started a new sci-fi style.DWe can achieve knowledge either actively o
26、r passively（被动地）. We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazin
27、es is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, its not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and
28、rumor(谣言).Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesnt show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last pe
29、rson writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed.Thats what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen
30、 imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping（打上标记）it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be re-stated as fact
31、 by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.来源:学科网13According to the passage, passive learning may
32、occur in _.Adoing a medical experimentBsolving a math problemCvisiting an exhibitionDdoing scientific reasoning14The underlined word it in Paragraph 2 refers to _.Aactive learningBknowledgeCcommunicationDpassive learning15What can we infer from the passage?AActive learning is less important.BPassive
33、 learning may not be reliable.CActive learning occurs more frequently.DPassive learning is not found among scholars.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Money MattersParents should help their children understand money. 16So you may start talking about money when your child
